I want to give you just a small view of the devastation that has occurred in the state of Alabama in about a 4 hour period.

But God’s people find hope in Him. He is their comfort and He is their stay. The prophet Isaiah tells us how to respond in situation like these:

Isaiah57:10: You were wearied with the length of your way,
but you did not say, “It is hopeless”;
you found new life for your strength,
and so you were not faint.

Though devastating to so many and some have even lost their lives–this is a dark time but it is also a time where we find strength to make new beginnings. My prayer is that the people rise up and find their hope in the Lord. If He is the God who is there, he uses events like these to cause is to come to Him. To find in Him our source, because he is the Source.
